Which doctor would I need to see?

[barbie1]

Quick question,

I need to make an appointment at the hospital to see somebody regarding my c section scar. A local doctor has taken a look and has told me to book an appointment but not with a gynaecologist but can't for the life of me remember which department he said

I would call the hospital and ask (which would seem the sensible option) but I'm in France and don't speak a word of French, and the hospital receptionist can't understand me at all.

Thanks

A dermatologist probably - I've seen one about my manky scar

Thanks, can I just ask if you saw them because the scar looked 'manky' or did it cause you pain as well?

Two emcs within 22 months, and 9 months down the line I'm still in loads of pain and don't even start me on the overhang! Heavy duty climbing gear required to get over it

Its because mine is overgrown with scar tissue making it very lumpy - as its on my arm it needed steroids to calm it down a bit.

Yours sounds more about your abdominal wall that your actual scar - could you not get the local doctor to write a note in french about the referral ?

General surgery or plastics?
